Annie Sloan Pearlescent Glaze is a water-based decorative glaze designed to give painted and unpainted surfaces a beautiful light-reflecting, lustrous finish. It is ideal for adding a subtle shimmer and decorative effect to furniture, walls and floors.

Use Pearlescent Glaze over Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to create a more intense opalescent finish, or mix small amounts of Chalk Paint with the glaze to create your own translucent, gently shimmering colours.

Pearlescent Glaze works particularly well over lighter Chalk Paint colours, where its reflective quality can be seen more clearly. It can also be used to create bespoke decorative finishes when mixed with your chosen Chalk Paint colour.

How to Use Pearlescent Glaze

  1. For best results, make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust before applying Pearlescent Glaze. The glaze can be applied over painted or unpainted surfaces depending on the decorative effect you want to achieve.
  2. When using Pearlescent Glaze over Chalk Paint, apply a thin, even coat using either a chalk paint brush or flat brush.
  3. Allow the glaze to dry before deciding whether another coat is required.
  4. The glaze is particularly effective over lighter Chalk Paint colours, where the pearlescent effect and light-reflecting finish are easier to see.
  5. For a stronger opalescent appearance, apply Pearlescent Glaze over your chosen Chalk Paint colour once the paint has dried.

Always test your chosen combination on a small area or sample piece first, particularly when creating a bespoke finish by mixing the glaze with Chalk Paint.
